Its ENERGY STAR score went from 53 in 2019 to 82 in 2024 (+29 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 89. Site EUI moved from 94.6 kBtu/ft² (2019) to 32.7 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 65% decrease.

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 82 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 82 means the building performs better than about 82% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 82 falls in band B — above median (70–84). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. In California, 65% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. Medical School Office Bldg's 32.7 kBtu/ft² across 56,636 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (543 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 542,129 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Medical School Office Bldg to report its energy use?
Medical School Office Bldg reports under AB 802 (Public Resources Code §25402.10), the legal basis of California's Building Energy Benchmarking Program (statewide), which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record california:9492524:2024).
